Any ideas or suggestions, how I can get my keyboard working ? It's
nothing to the hardware itself as the kbd works just perfect while in
SuSE and winxp.
Another interesting observation - when I browse using konqueror, the
minus sign shows up as a strange box shaped character !!
Kevin, please don't top-post and try to trim down the replies to just
what's relevant. Thanks.
There could be any number of problems here. At a very basic level,
make sure that your shell isn't messing up your keys. Check that
/etc/inputrc is as it's given in the LFS book or isn't broken in some
other way:

Next, when you're in an X session, /etc/sysconfig/console doesn't
matter. What's the output from "setxkbmap -print"?
Finally, for konqueror, we should make sure that the fonts are working
from Fontconfig. I don't know what the default setup is, but
presumably the font is generic Sans. In that case, what's the output
for "fc-match Sans"?
Oh yeah. What locale are you using? LC_ALL? LANG?
